In lighter news, Amex is offering a "White Lotus Experience" at a Four Seasons in Thailand. Has anyone at Amex ever watched the show? Will people pay thousands of dollars to get their life upended, relationships shattered and maybe get murdered? Maybe if Jennifer Coolidge shows up and derps around?

Completely out from using any Meta sites. They're monetizing the suffering of their own user base in order to better align with fascists. I'll be here and at mstdn.social/@romkey
For now please enjoy this screen cap of a gnome fucking a pig from an Instagram ad.

Many are feeling grief, fear, worry, anger right now and well-meaning folks may say not to worry, everything will be okay.
I know this comes from a place of love and concern but try to give them space to feel their feelings instead of negating or invalidating them. Let them process their feelings.

Harris/Walz. Not just because Trump is a menace to democracy, civility and the rule of law. Not just because 4 more years of Maya Rudolph playing Harris on SNL. Because I think they're well suited to help us through the next 4 years and will do a good job in a difficult time.

23andMe is really going for "set the sleaze factor to 10"... after recent hacks on customer data they're rewriting their arbitration policy in very anti-customer way.
I encourage customers to both opt out and let customer service know how terrible the new policy is.

After hack, 23andMe gives users 30 days to opt out of class-action waiver
Anyone who fails to opt out "will be deemed to have agreed to the new terms."

Suing people who stopped doing business with you because you supported nazis, racism and antisemitism doesn't seem like a good business plan.

I can't be the only person who might have wished this headline ended with "for space"

Imagine having your annual revenue for a single product category being off by 5 *billion* dollars and that still represents only 2.5% of the total for that category.

Raspberry Pi 5 looks very nice. If you're getting one, get the official power adapter. It uses a non-standard USB C power mode, 5V@5A; most power adapters won't work with it.
Wish they'd used a simple barrel jack connector rather than a proprietary USB C mode that will lead to a lot of confusion.

Reddit must be jealous of Twitter hogging the attention again.
Now they're doing away with awards and coins (which I don't care about) but apparently won't be refunding people who spent money on coins.
This is going to go well.
